Dolomite Panorama, Rifugio Biella

Meant to be looked at in the largest size: farm4.static.flickr.com/3277/2681777328_7781e6136b_o.jpg

Mountains extending as far as the eye can see. I'd like to take this opportunity to praise the Italian Alpine Club. The trails were well marked and maintained. The refuges were sometimes private and sometimes operated by the club. They are beautifully situated (like the one shown here) and wonderfully friendly places to stay. Spartan accommodations, but graciously provided. Certainly better than carrying tent, sleeping bag, cooking gear and food. I can tell you that a shower and a glass of wine at the end of the day make it a lot easier to talk your wife into coming with one on a trip like this.

Climbing

The expresso has started to wear off. Lago di Braes can be seen far below. The guidebook for the hike said "relentless climb" and they were right. I would have gotten to the top a lot sooner, but I had to carry an old man up the hill.

Morning, Lago di Braes

First day of the hike. Walking along the west side of the lake. Full of expresso.

Lago di Braes, Italy

The beginning of the Alta Via 1 in the Dolomite Mountains of Italy. Emi and I spent 12 days hiking south through the mountains from here. The trail begins at the wonderful hotel from which this was taken, runs along the right hand side of the lake and up into the mountains to the left. We stayed every night at refuges that were operated by the Italian Alpine Club or were privately owned. They are pretty spartan, but definitely a step up from packing our own food and sleeping in a tent.
